Lightning Strikes Twice (1951)

Tom Wilson: Bus Passenger

Quotes 

• Salesman : [Speaking to the guy across the aisle]  Mighty nice territory out here.

  [Turns his attention to the woman reading a book sitting at his left] 

  Salesman : Mighty nice.

  Bus Passenger : Yeah, it was nice territory until a foreigner like Trevelyan came in and dirtied it up a little.

  Salesman : [Looking down at the womans crossed legs]  They say she was quite a dish.

  Bus Passenger : Who, the woman on the jury?

  Salesman : Nu-uh. The wife... Lorraine. It's always the good lookers that get into trouble.

  [Cocks hat back and looks into her face] 

  Salesman : Nobody bothers to kill the dogs.

  [Leans in towards her] 

  Salesman : You ought to be extra careful, little lady, with your looks.

• Bus Passenger : [Waking up his friend holding the newspaper headline]  Hey, Al. It beats me, Al. It just beats me.

  Bus Passenger : [Trying to sleep]  Oh, forget it, Tom.

  Bus Passenger : They had him dead to rights.

  Bus Passenger : Get some sleep, Tom.

  Bus Passenger : And what about the towel he buried?

  Bus Passenger : We've been all through that, Tom.

  Bus Passenger : He bought his way out, I tell ya. He was rich when he bashed her head in and now he's poor. I guess he figured he couldn't spend his money dangling at the end of a rope, so instead he pulled a few strings. Get it, Al? Rope? Strings?

  Bus Passenger : Oh.

  Bus Passenger : What'd you say, Al?

  Bus Passenger : If you don't shut up Tom there's going to be another murder in these parts!
